How it works
In each category, chefs must create a unique dish or an innovative re-imagining of a classic dish. Judges will be specifically looking to see how the dish showcases the pasta chosen, along with the commercial viability, overall composition, flavour and appeal. Please note that ‘Al Forno’ dishes will be very difficult to produce due to time and oven restrictions at the competitions.
